Clippers @ Suns Game Thread 2014-04-02

"That's the attitude that we have to have that no matter what the obstacles you just keep playing," coach Doc Rivers said. "We have enough guys, and that's what we talked about today. We didn't mention the injuries. ... You just go out and play and it'll work out if you believe that and play well."
The Clippers are closing in on a second straight Pacific Division crown and trail the Thunder by two games in the race for the No. 2 seed.
"Everyone keeps track," forward Jared Dudley said. "We know we have another game against (the Thunder) at home and....

I think we should be Alrite, the cp, Collison backcourt has working quite well for us. Hopefully Duds play well again, I think if he scores 13+ tonight we win and dj dominate the boards like against minny

i think we lose this game, and i wouldn't be heartbroken if we did. Any chance to knock memphis out of the playoffs is A-Okay to me. I'm just bummed PHO lost to the flakers recently..

Hell, let CP rest too. I'd like to see DC and DJ lead this team tonight, win or lose. Maybe we can run the team around DJ more tonight and have him play some post game, something I'd definitely like to see.

Excited for this one can watch it live instead of radio and Dvr. Another game that match up wise Dudley works better as a 4. Bledsoe and Dragic are a dangerous combo and we have to stay ready.

The bench has to show up its a complete must as I suspect Gerald Green and one of the Morris brothers to do some damage. DJ has to stay up on shooters and attached to Plumee because he is athletic enough to cause issues on the glass. Clips win a tough one with a second half surge.

Hopefully Dudley can handle Frye on defense because if we have to put DJ on him we will become vulnerable in the paint.

Well we are playing a team that is desperate to win for playoff hunt,and you know how a cornered animal acts (and lord knows these guys can be animals). I would rather just come out of this unscathed,I too (like BringKamanBack) would not despair with a loss,I would despair over an injury.

Blake Griffin Will Start Per LA Clippers.

I do not like him starting. Houston Just Lost. Rest Him. No Need To Sustain Any Other Injuries

While I'm worried Blake is built like a tank, so I don't think a few back spasms are gonna derail him anymore, just crossing my fingers!

Kind of disappointed JJ ain't playing. Was hopeful when he announced he was joining Clips on the road trip...

Doc said he will make a decision on JJ when they return to LA. He said the good thing about this next stretch is that in between games there are two days off. Hinted to me that JJ will likely play after we return home

There's only 6 games left after today. If he's going to play in playoffs, he needs to play ASAP. There ain't no time to shake off rust and reform chemistry in playoffs.

The fact that the Lakers and Dodgers have to have separate channels instead of just being on the same one is so blindingly stupid it's not even funny, BTW. That being said, the Clippers should get a channel of their own with the new TV deal, IMO.
